Im Erika, a licensed massage therapist with roots in hands-on healing since 2008. After stepping away from massage for several years to focus on motherhood, I returned to the wellness field as a chiropractic assistant and began practicing massage therapy again in 2025 after becoming licensed in Virginia. My work is nurturing, intuitive, and grounded in nervous system care. I begin each session slowly, using firm, calming strokes that help the body settle before deepening as needed. I tailor every massage to your needsaddressing specific areas of tension while ensuring you leave feeling relaxed, restored, and supported. At Grounded Essence, I offer a welcoming, judgment-free space for women seeking stress relief, balance, and real, attainable wellness. My goal is simple: for you to leave feeling more grounded and at ease in your body.
